This is the episode that had the Jupiter 8 sports car in it.

Check out Kirk with it.

I immediately thought of this episode when I saw the title of the article.

The other day I responded to a guy claiming that teaching about Hell was a form of terrorism.

In it I also covered a contention that I’ve often made that people today are so out of touch with what holiness means that they often seem to imagine that if they were to find themselves in Isaiah’s slippers they would expect to receive a pat on the back for being so nice and tolerant.

But many of these nice and tolerate people are murdering their own posterity, championing perverted acts, and now even championing madness where people think transgenderism is real rather than subsiding into bad fantasy.

It was only Uhura that believed and got it. Kirk and McCoy only saw it from historical perspective, not religious.

One of the best, or possibly the best episode of the series.

While Star Trek is not "Christian," I find that nearly every episode confirms the existence of God/fallen human nature.

The genius of the show seems to lie largely in the exploration of the failings of human nature and how we want to be better. None of that exists without a Creator creating humans "good" and then a Fall that mars the "good."

I remember it well without looking at this post at all.

Doctor McCoy and Captain Kirk, at the end of the episode are on the Bridge of the Enterprise wondering about so advanced a culture they are surprised that the Romans on this planet were still Sun Worshipers.   Lieutenant Uhura interrupts the conversation to say that she had been listening to the broadcasts from the planet and told them she realized that the Sun Worship they referred to was not the Sun, but the Son of God.

It made more of an impression on me than The Omega Glory episode did when the Yangs walked into the room with the torn and tattered American Flag, and still does to this day.

And that reminds me of the book, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Watching Star Trek."

There were a ton of quotes from TOS that can solidly apply to today’s hectic times.

Well, they did play “Amazing Grace” when sending Spock’s body out in the photon torpedo in that movie about the Genesis device. Spock did lay his life down for everyone... before being reborn...
